DL> attack on the 2 meter/440 bands for commercial interests.
What 'attack'?  You're definately going a bit overboard there.
DL> 14 GMRS channels have been deregulated under a new loosely regulated DL> 
service.
Excuse me?  FRS does NOT use any previously GMRS freqs, it uses splits, and 
at the power level and other technical considerations, the radios should NOT 
bother GMRS users (of which I am).
DL> VHF marine channels have been deregulated. VHF Aviation band has also 
een
DL> deregulated.
Deregulated in WHAT way?
... Include this in your CONFIG.SYS File:  BUGS=OFF
